Some relationships.💔

Some relationships.

Most tired

Not a fight.

But is

That we have to explain ourselves all the time

Explain that.

We didn't mean to say that.

Explain that.

We're just tired today.

Explain that.

Our silence.

Doesn't mean no love.

Explain that.

What kind of people are we?

Think what?

How does it feel?

Like how many more times to say

He still looks at us.

Through my own understanding anyway.

Growing up, we'll start to know that.

Someone who should be in our lives.

You don't have to understand everything.

But he should be the one

"Try to understand."

Without making us feel guilty.

That's myself.

Good relationship.

It's not a relationship that needs to translate feelings all day.

But it's a relationship.

That we were ourselves.

Without being careful of every word

Don't keep proving we're not bad.

Don't be tired.

With repeatedly explaining his own good intentions.

Because people who really understand us

Will listen to "heart."

More than catching the wrong "wording."

And right?

Being with someone

And then feel comfortable being quiet.

Be comfortable being yourself.

At ease, even on imperfect days, we

That could be one of love.

The oldest.

Finally,

We don't need people who keep life excited all the time.

We just need someone who's already there.

The heart doesn't have to work too hard.

... Read moreในชีวิตจริง หลายคนคงเคยประสบกับความสัมพันธ์ที่ทำให้รู้สึกเหนื่อยใจ ไม่ใช่เพราะการทะเลาะกันบ่อย ๆ แต่เพราะต้องคอยอธิบายความรู้สึกและเจตนาของตนเองให้คนรักเข้าใจอยู่ตลอดเวลา ความรู้สึกนี้เป็นสิ่งที่หลายคนประสบมาและอาจทำให้เราสูญเสียพลังใจได้มาก จากประสบการณ์ตรง การที่ต้องพยายามอธิบายว่าเราเหนื่อย แค่เงียบไม่ได้แปลว่าไม่รัก หรือแค่ลักษณะนิสัยของเรา ไม่ใช่เรื่องง่าย เพราะบางครั้งคู่ของเราก็ยังมองข้ามสิ่งนี้และตีความในแบบของเขาเอง สิ่งนี้สะท้อนว่าความเข้าใจในความสัมพันธ์ไม่ได้หมายความว่าต้องเข้าใจทุกเรื่องอย่างลึกซึ้ง แต่อยู่ที่ความพยายามเข้าใจและรับฟังโดยไม่ทำให้ฝ่ายตรงข้ามรู้สึกผิดที่เป็นตัวเอง ในความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีจริง ๆ เราควรได้รับอิสระในการแสดงออกถึงความเป็นตัวเอง ไม่ต้องระวังคำพูดหรือพิสูจน์เจตนาดีซ้ำ ๆ การสื่อสารที่ดีควรเน้นฟังหัวใจและความรู้สึกลึก ๆ มากกว่าจับผิดคำพูดเพียงผิวเผิน อีกเรื่องที่ได้เรียนรู้คือ การอยู่กับใครสักคนแล้วสามารถอยู่ด้วยกันได้อย่างสบายใจแม้ในวันที่เราไม่สมบูรณ์แบบ นั่นคือสัญญาณของความรักที่เติบโตและเป็นผู้ใหญ่ขึ้น เพราะหัวใจไม่ต้องทำงานหนักเกินไปเมื่ออยู่กับคนที่เข้าใจและยอมรับเราอย่างแท้จริง ดังนั้น การเลือกคนที่จะอยู่ในชีวิตจึงควรเน้นที่คนที่ไม่เพียงแค่ทำให้ชีวิตตื่นเต้น แต่คือคนที่สามารถอยู่ข้าง ๆ อย่างสงบและให้ความอบอุ่นทางใจ หากใครกำลังเผชิญกับความสัมพันธ์ที่ไม่ชัดเจนและเหนื่อยกับการอธิบายตัวเอง ลองพิจารณาว่าความสัมพันธ์นี้ยังสนับสนุนความเป็นตัวเองหรือไม่ และคนที่อยู่ข้าง ๆ พยายามเข้าใจและยอมรับเรานี้มากน้อยแค่ไหน เพราะความรักที่แท้จริงคือการที่เราได้เป็นตัวเองอย่างแท้จริงโดยไม่ต้องเหนื่อยใจทุกวัน

cultivate emotional intimacy in your relationships
emotional closeness goes way beyond the physical. for some people, they’re able to be physically intimate with others but struggle to open up their heart, soul and mind. I was definitely one of those people. I had a lot of walls up (and still do… working on it). but for me now, it’s hard to be
